Tancho Japanese - Castro Valley

A gem of a restaurant tucked away in Castro Valley. Took my mom here to celebrate her birthday and had a lovely experience. The chef and the staff were all super attentive and kind, and even provided some complimentary sips which were like nothing I’ve ever tasted. This was our first proper omakase together, but it won’t be our last. Everything was prepared masterfully, super fresh, and very tasty. We even opted for a couple of extra bites which were well worth it. Dining like this is a nice treat once in a great while.

One of the best sushi places in the bay! You'd never guess there'd be an omakase restaurant like this in this shopping center, but they're punching way above their weight class. The service is incredible, and the food is delicious! I feel like the texture of the sushi really sets it apart from even other higher end sushi restaurants. This place is a hidden gem!

Fantastic food and excellent customer service! Will return

Great dining experience. Very expensive and the reservation system is a hassle. It matched our expectations and was similar to the Michelin star restaurant experience. You really must like Japanese cuisine and raw seafood to appreciate the menu. The sake selection is great too. The service was exceptional. The place is simple in some random hole in the wall space.

Overall was a pretty good experience. Food was so good!! variety of small dishes. Plates were so pretty tho. Portions are small, and you may not be full; but could add extra pieces; which our bill ended up more than $500 for 2 ppl without alcohol. Service was pretty good. Everyone were frendly and attentive.
